GEAR

I've spent years acquiring and modifying gear that helps accomplish the mastering process with the utmost musicality. Each of these wonderful tools helps me to realize the sound I'm going for to bring out the best in your mix:

I have also spent years scrutinizing the signal path and doing blind listening tests wherever possible in order to squeeze out the the best fidelity of the system. The results can be seen in everything from our electrical system to our gold plated patch cables.

Electrical System:
Good sound starts with clean power and grounding. We use a military grade Staco 8kva computer controlled motorized variac that maintains constant voltage with 0% distortion. Further, the studio is fed by an Equitech Balanced Power Transformer with thick guage (10g, 12g) JPS electric wire, dedicated ground and all contacts in the duplexes and plugs have been silver plated. It makes an audible improvement.

Audio Wiring:
Our facility is wired with Mogami snakes. In many cases we use the Mogami Digital 110ohm AES snakes as they have better specs (lower capacitance) and therefore are better for analog audio. Critical digital lines are hand made custom cables. Connectors are all silver plated.
